Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World-Call to Men of to-Day: Addresses and Proceedings of the Men´s Missionary Convention, Held in Philadelphia, February 11-13, 1908 Some one has ventured to suggest how very interesting it would be to witness the proceedings, if Paul´s advice to the church of Corinth were widely applied in relation to the subject of missions, and women everywhere were advised that "if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home" (1 Cor. xiv: 35). Indeed, besides affording not a little diversion, in all likelihood it might, likewise, lead to revolutionary results of far-reaching effect, if the good women of the church universal were to adopt this sound Scriptural injunction and set about catechising their husbands at home as to the principles, programme, progress and prospects of the work of the church of Christ throughout all the world. In the early days of the church, the women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him, themselves the last at the cross and the first at the tomb, no sooner learned of the glad tidings of the risen Lord than away they went straightway to bring the men, also. And when he had committed the gospel, as he did alike to all, both men and women, to be made known to "the whole creation," in order that of his Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit there should be "no frontier," the men went forth to take the lead in that great enterprise. But at length - no matter now how it came about - the original programme ceased to be carried out. As concerns the execution of the great commission of the church, the laymen for the most part came to be looked upon as the lame-men, laid by the Gate Beautiful of God´s house, quite outside of the missionary enterprise, waiting for the Peters and Johns who have learned to use their own legs in obeying the Master´s marching orders, "Go ye," to come around that way, prepared to say to these same lame laymen with the irresistible accent of conviction, backed by the authority of personal example, "Look on us and in the name of Jesus of Nazareth rise up and walk."
